The main purpose of this trip is to enhance cooperation in developing human resources and expanding the business market of Niigata Prefecture overseas, especially in cooperation with Vinh Long Province. Currently, the backbone of agricultural labor in Niigata is young Vietnamese people. With the initial foundation and crucial exchange in human resources, we aim to develop exchanges between VLUTE and Sanjo University, opening opportunities for internships for students to access a creative learning environment with a focus on practical experience. We will try our best to support the relationship between the two universities for the best possible success."
